"I was circumcised when I was a year old. I
remember my foreskin. I want my foreskin back."
A circumcised American male

The last photograph above (vaginal speculum stretching
residual penile skin) has this written on the back:
"The reason we have
NORM [National Organization of Restoring Men] meetings
is to help each other obtain the best results. This is the
way not to stretch -- laterally. A lot of
determination but lacking information."

*The term "foreskin restoration" refers to the various
surgical and non-surgical procedures used to re-cover the
glans of the circumcised penis. Jim Bigelow explains on
pages 134-138 of the of the Second Edition of
The Joy of Uncircumcising! (Hourglass Book
Publishing, 1995), the bible of the
foreskin restoration movement, what can and cannot
be expected from these procedures.

[I know of two disastrous results following long, painful,
expensive (one more than $10,000) attempts at surgical
foreskin reconstruction. I would urge anyone thinking about
undertaking any type of glans re-covering to read
Dr. Bigelow's book and to contact one of the many NORM support
groups in the U.S. and other countries.]
